Reviews of Tanja Solnik's"Lullabies and Love Songs"

Listening to Tanja Solnik sing is like
being held. Her voice is so extraordinarily lovely, her songs so tender that many
listeners will be moved to tears. This is a recording for everyone from babies to
grandparents. Especially recommended: her version of Papir Iz Doch
Vays. -- Moment Magazine

Filled with beautiful renditions of songs that span
the nations and generations of Jews. -- Los
Angeles Jewish Journal

Lullabies and Love Songs is a wonderful
addition to your family's music collection. -- American

There are many children's recordings on the market that the
little ones like, but, alas, not many that we mommies and daddies can tolerate without
wanting to throw something at the CD or tape player. In time to save the stereo equipment
comes Tanja Solnik's Lullabies and Love Songs which is a pleasant
collection of Hebrew, Yiddish and Ladino tunes that youngsters and parents can enjoy
together. Lullabies offers an opportunity for children to learn about the
richness of Jewish culture while being entertained.

From beginning - Tumba - to end - Papir Iz Doch Vays - a certain
9-month-old, listening to Solnik's soothing renditions for the first time, rocked back and
forth, waved to the stereo speakers and cooed, HaaBaBaBaAah! (For those of
you not schooled in infant-speak, that's mighty high praise!) A certain mom, who had spent
several months (and far too many dollars!) searching for Jewish-themed children's music
that didn't sound like it was recorded on battery-operated keyboards in an unpadded
basement, was thrilled.

Solnik's voice is mollifying and the instrumental accompaniment is just right for
children - not too complex or overpowering. For their parents, the arrangements are
not too simplistic or mono-tonal. Like Solnik's first collection, From Generation to
Generation: A Legacy of Lullabies, Lullabies and Love Songs belongs
in the music collection of every Jewish family. --Cleveland

This new CD by Tanja Solnik features a dozen traditional folk
tunes in Yiddish and Hebrew to appeal to parents, grandparents and children.
Solnik pours her soul into the songs; Jim Hershman on mandolin and balalaika and Gary
Nesteruk on piano and keyboards add immeasurably to the appeal. Most pleasant is her
rendition of the Hebrew poet Rachel's ode to Lake Kinneret, Veulai. -- Hadassah Magazine

Listening to Tanja Solnik's rich voice rise effortlessly
through these venerable songs -- which she sings in the original Ladino, Yiddish and
Hebrew -- is delightfully relaxing. And by including love songs, this
second album moves beyond Solnik's first recording for the very young, A Legacy of
Lullabies. In twelve haunting, selections, her voice shines in the
simplest of musical settings. -- Family Fun

These songs are tender and gentle, exhibiting a real
sweetness that's often painfully absent from many contemporary recordings.
It's perfect both for new mothers in love with their tiny angels, as well as young
sweethearts. Ms. Solnik has a clear pure voice - and best of all her pronunciation
is always excellent. -- Detroit Jewish News

Beautifully sung by Tanja Solnik. The
perfect way to experience a little time out with loved ones. -- School Library Journal
